Route description

K-194 begins at the northern city limit of Simpson, marked by the Kyle Railroad.[3] The route travels due north on a two-lane road across a flat, treeless plain for 1.58 miles (2.54 km) before terminating at an intersection with US-24. All of the designation lies on the CloudMitchell county line.[4]

K-194 is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation. In 2012, the route's average annual daily traffic was 415 vehicles, including 40 trucks.[5] The route is not included in the National Highway System,[6] a system of highways important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility.[7]

History

Between 1953 and 1956, US-24 was realigned to bypass the city of Simpson. K-194 was designated on the roadway that formerly carried US-24 from Simpson to a point north of the city where it curved to the west. The route was paved at the time it was designated.[2][8] The route has not changed since designation.[9]

Major intersections

The entire route is on the CloudMitchell county line.
